CD Projekt Red Reacts To Lack Of Xbox One In Poland

Microsoft confirmed the list of countries in which the Xbox One will be available at launch. The company's official support Twitter account also stated that the system simply may not work, even with an account in an authorized territory.

One of those countries is Poland, home of CD Projekt Red, who is working on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for a multiplatform launch that includes Microsoft's console.

We spoke with Marcin Iwinski, co-founder and joint CEO of CD Projekt Red about the matter. "I was just in a restaurant and saw the list," Iwinski told us. "I was surprised, and I really hope that it isn't final. I think Polish gamers will speak out loud. From my perspective, it's a sad situation."

The 360 had its difficulties getting a foothold overseas, and now your new policies are going to make it very difficult for your next console to succeed in some of these regions as well. I just don't see benefit. How does any of this make sense from a business standpoint?
